    Nikon P5100

    Kowa adapter ring AR28. Get a magazine or a daily crossword too so you can have something to do between shutter activations while the P5100 writes to memory card! ;) cheers, Rick

    Nikon P5100

    Shutter speed 1/500sec or higher to 'freeze" and 3-4 exposure/sec bursts. Probably need ISO800 or more. If you can't get shutter speeds above 1/250sec then long 5-6 exposure/sec bursts are your best option. Not sure if the P5100 can go this fast unless you can scale back resolution by half. You...

    Nikon P5100

    Hi Neal, I think you could coax great pics out of pinhole camera!:clap: I would like to upgrade to a newer digicam with IS and good manual control to use with my tiny ED50 and would prefer an all-Nikon solution too. But with the Canon A590IS selling on Amazon.com for under US$100 now, it is a...

    Hi Joanne, Apologies for being a P5100 "luv fest" spoiler. I really hate to poo poo anyone's choice of camera. It just shocks me Nikon can produce elegant, easy-to-use user interfaces for their dSLRs while their digicams seemed to be designed by folks who never take pics. I also appreciate...

I could tell the P5100 would not work for me. Panasonic seems to be hitting on...

    Nikon P5100

    Hi Joanne, no secret I love Nikon dSLRs but still think Nikon's digicams are not up to snuff. Their only adavantage with the EDIII is that they have matching adapters for attaching the camera. Even the Nikon fanboys like Ken Rockwell and Thom Hogan think they are not worth buying. Everyone had...

    Then why ever screw around with a digicam? You already have everything you need for excellent pics except for the 43mm to T42 adapter rings. Connect that Bad Boy XTi body directly to the 14mm XW eyepiece via the 43mm thread under the rubber eyeguard. Contact Bob at Alpineastro.com for the Baader...
